[501L] DrMechano Players 381 posts 4,327 battles Report post #1 Posted January 4, 2020 So, what would your suggestions be for wacky premiums that are just kind of silly fun. Think the TOGII in World of Tanks. Personal suggestion would be one of the many Coastal defense ships like the Sverige or one of the many Monitor ships. Not sure what tier to put the Sverige at since they're WW1 but also equipped with stupidly big guns at 283mm (4 to be exact), I think it would make for a fun if derpy tier 6 premium ship, give it Kron/scharn levels of accuracy.

No it wouldn't. Sverige could never work on T6 and it definitely wouldn't be a derpy ship, not in the way the TOG or KV-2 are in WoT. What would it be? A BB? A sort of Supercruiser? Sverige class was "lighter" then Nurnberg class which means it HP pool would be quite low, if it is a BB even lower. It is would be very slow for T6 and it wouldn't have HP to tank to compensate for that speed And with just 4 guns, which can't overmatch 25mm of other T6 BB or T8 cruisers, would need to be both super accurate, basically very similar to Yubary accuracy, and have a good RoF. In WoWs, derpy ships are ships with lot of guns but accuracy all over the place, like Lyon or Fuso. Ships like RN HMS Agincourt with 7x2 305mm guns or original Italian Conte di Cavour class with 3x3 and 2x2 305mm guns. Coastal defence ships could only work on lower tiers and even there are quite questionable. There would be very thin line between them being cr*p or OP because with such a small amount of guns, which were not particularly big when compared to BB guns, they would need to be really really accurate to be playable but could easily end too accurate and end quite broken. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-URK-] wot_2016_gunner Players 2,588 posts 6,830 battles Report post #13 Posted January 4, 2020 I have another one; the Regia Nave San Giorgio. An armored cruiser with 2x2 254mm guns. I think that it could be somewhere around Tier 4, due to having a small ammount of guns and a speed of only 23,2 knots, which already balances everything.

Look up Coastal Defense Ships and Monitor ships. They're absolutely hilarious in that they're basically about cramming as bigger guns as they could on what amounts to a floating barge sometimes. There was one monitor armed with 18cm gun...that's right not guns, GUN. Oddly enough it was actually the gun taken from the above mentioned HMS Furious when it got remade into a Carrier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HMSR] Major_Damage225 Beta Tester 2,875 posts 7,295 battles Report post #23 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Here's the whakiest of them all,1930's IJN Kongo retrofit for theyr "night battles" plan that they were so focused on, i think Hiraga may have has something to do with it, im still researching it but info is hard to come by since i dont understand japanese. Yep, you see that right 14x 4 fish launchers. WG, if you ever listened, listen now..... Edit: we did have a wacky one in beta but, WG refuses to bring it back. WeeGee gib nao!! Heck, these two ships would make the ultimate bundle "torpedo soup" throw in a Asashio for good measure, some lube, slap 200€ on it and enjoy the show Edit 2: i just counted if these two ships would be ingame, a division of these two + a asashio would create a glorious 112 meme wall of pure joy and salt....
